Work vehicle

Abstract

A work vehicle is provided with a driving section ( 5 ), and a load carrying deck ( 6 ) disposed rearwardly of the driving section ( 5 ). The load carrying deck ( 6 ) is configured to be pivotally liftable between an elevated posture in which a front end portion of the deck ( 6 ) is elevated, and a lowered posture in which the front end portion of the deck ( 6 ) is lowered. Between right and left ends of an upper end portion ( 61 a ) of a front wall ( 61 ) of the load carrying deck ( 6 ), there is provided a plate-like elastic member 8 extending forwardly upward.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A work vehicle comprising:
 a driving section; 
 a load carrying deck mounted rearwardly of the driving section, the load carrying deck being configured to be pivotally liftable up/down between an elevated posture in which a front end portion of the deck is elevated, and a lowered posture in which the front end portion of the deck is lowered; 
 a plate-like elastic member extending forwardly upward from an upper end portion of a front wall of the load carrying deck between right and left ends thereof; and 
 a frame member extending in a right/left direction at a rear end portion of the driving section, 
 wherein when the load-carrying deck is set under the lowered posture, the plate-like elastic member comes into contact with the frame member and is set under an inclined posture in which the inclination of the plate-like elastic member is increased forward so as to guide a load of the load-carrying deck received by the plate-like elastic member to an inner side of the load carrying deck along the inclination. 
 
     
     
       2. The work vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the front wall of the load carrying deck is formed higher than all of a right wall, a left wall and a rear wall of the load carrying deck. 
     
     
       3. The work vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the upper end portion of the front wall of the load carrying deck extends forwardly upward; and 
 the plate-like elastic member is mounted and supported on the upper end portion of the front wall. 
 
     
     
       4. The work vehicle of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an engine; 
 wherein the engine is mounted downwardly of the load carrying deck. 
 
     
     
       5. The work vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the front wall has a planar part expanding planarly in a vertical direction and an extending part extending forward and upward from an upper end portion of the planar part; 
 the plate-like elastic member is mounted and supported on the extending part; and 
 a lower end portion of the plate-like elastic member is arranged at a position corresponding to the upper end portion of the planar part.
